I think it was graphic designer Milton Glasser who said, “people crave short novel experiences” He was implying people are impatient and don’t want to commit or give you too much of their time. It’s for that reason I try to keep my posts concise. I like reading short stories on Steemit, but have a hard time committing to a serial novel. When I read novels I want to sit down and read the whole thing. Having said this many have done well with this format, so the waters are muddy, just do what you want and attract those who like it.
